Compact power for everyday electronics
The Philips CR2025 is a widely used 3V lithium coin cell battery. Measuring 20mm in diameter and 2.5mm in thickness, it fits a vast array of small electronic devices. This includes Apple TV remotes, car key fobs, calculators, and compact kitchen scales. Thanks to its lithium chemistry, it provides stable and consistent power output, even under varying temperature conditions.
Check the size and packaging before buying
While the CR2025 looks very similar to the more common CR2032, it is slightly thinner (2.5mm compared to 3.2mm). Make sure to verify which size your device requires. Additionally, this specific product code is for a single blister pack. It is perfect if you only need one right away, but if you have multiple devices, a multipack will offer better value per battery.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a CR2025 and a CR2032 battery?

Lithium coin cells like this Philips CR2025 have a very low self-discharge rate. You can safely store them in their original packaging for up to 5 to 10 years without significant loss of capacity.
Is this battery rechargeable?
No, the Philips CR2025 is a non-rechargeable (primary lithium) battery. Attempting to recharge it can cause leakage, overheating, or damage to your charger.
